What is the current state of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the scholarly publishing community? It's time to take a thorough look at the 2023 global Workplace Equity (WE) Survey results. The C4DISC coalition conducted the WE Survey to capture perceptions, experiences, and demographics of colleagues working at publishers, associations, libraries, and many more types of organizations in the global community. Four key themes emerged from the 2023 results, which will be compared to the findings from the first WE Survey conducted in 2018. Recommendations for actions organisations can consider within their contexts will be proposed and discussed.
